First off, welcome to FTE.
Sorry, I can't help with your steering question, but I can help with your fuel leak problem.
It sounds like your fuel leak is coming from the fuel filter drain valve. This became a very common problem when ULSD fuel was introduced, replacing LSD fuel. You can fix the leak by removing the drain valve assembly and replacing the two o-rings with a new set of Viton o-rings. Here is a website with pictures giving you a step-by-step procedure on how to replace the o-rings: http://home.centurytel.net/sabre/drainvalve.html
It's pretty easy to do, just a tad time consuming because it's in a tight area without a lot of hand-space/tool-space to maneuver in.
One last thing. This is the F150 Lightning/HD/Roush/Saleen forum, not the 7.3L PSD forum. It's always better to post your questions in the appropriate forum so you get an answer to your question.
